A novel mycovirus with the proposed name "Magnaporthe oryzae narnavirus virus 1" (MoNV1), was described in the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae. The virus has a single-stranded (+ss) RNA genome of 2452 nucleotides, contains a single open reading frame (ORF) predicted to encode an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RDRP), and is closely related to some viruses of the genus Narnavirus, family Narnaviridae, including Aspergillus fumigatus narnavirus 1 (AfNV1), Neofusicoccum parvum narnavirus 2 (NpNV2) and Alternaria tenuissima narnavirus 1 (AtNV2). Genome sequence comparisons and phylogenetic analysis suggested that MoNV1 is a new member of the genus Narnavirus. The RDRPs of MoNV1 and some closely related narnaviruses do not contain a typical metal-binding "GDD" motif and catalytic site. Further studies are needed to investigate the replication mechanism of these viruses.
一种新的真菌病毒,命名为“稻瘟病菌 Narnavirus 病毒 1”(MoNV1),在稻瘟病菌中被发现。该病毒具有单链(+ss)RNA 基因组,长度为 2452 个核苷酸,包含一个单一的开放阅读框(ORF),预测编码 RNA 依赖性 RNA 聚合酶(RDRP),与 Narnavirus 属的一些病毒密切相关,包括烟曲霉 Narnavirus 1(AfNV1)、细极链格孢菌 Narnavirus 2(NpNV2)和细链格孢菌 Narnavirus 1(AtNV2)。基因组序列比较和系统发育分析表明,MoNV1 是 Narnavirus 属的一个新成员。MoNV1 和一些密切相关的 Narnavirus 的 RDRP 不包含典型的金属结合“GDD”基序和催化位点。需要进一步研究来探讨这些病毒的复制机制。
